We enjoyed the book, Just a Dream by Chris VanAllsberg. We learned that we each need to do our parts to help the planet Earth, our home. He looks at the bleak future without efforts by us all. After the story we had the job of an engineer to design and build a mechanical grabber. Students were allowed to use hangers, paint sticks, tape, rubber bands and craft sticks. They learned that sometimes improvements need to be made to make our grabbers better. We love our Stem challenges with our buddies!
We are learning about Goods and Services and Needs and Wants in our Social Study curriculum. Students participated in a fair and decided if they would like to sell a good or provide a service. It was a fun way for them to understand where goods come from and who provides the many services we use every day.
